I trial fitted the 50.5" ACS mixture and throttle cables supplied in the firewall forward kit to my IO 360 M1B and they are too short. Another 4" in length would make them perfect. I am not using a quadrant, and these are the stock push pull cables.
I have moved the locations of the cables approx 1'' higher on my panel as compared to the factory designed panel, but I would think that would add only an additional 1/2" length requirement at most. All firewall penetrations for the cables are per plan.
If the 50.5" cables work on a stock panel, they certainly would be way too tight.
Has any body else had a problem with mixture and throttle cable length with the IO 360 M1B and IO360A1B6?.
These are the new factory lyc's that Vans distributes, and supossedly their FF forward kits should work perfect with these engines. Is this another problem that the builder needs to resolve because the manufacturer hasn't corrected a design issue?
